*Flashback to one week earlier

Outside the dorm where Kai resided.

The door opened and he walked outside to see Annabelle and Bob arguing, no to be precise she was stuck under Bob's enlarged paw. When they noticed the door opening, Bob let her go and Annabelle instantly jumped up and glared at Bob before jogging towards Kai.

"Come, Kai, I need to talk to you in my office. No, wait. This is urgent I need to talk to you instantly. We'll talk inside your room." She walked straight into his room and dragged him with her. He usually would have had some thoughts of resistance when somebody grabbed his arm and quell it. But he was still thinking of the [Berserk] ability's influence and its destructive tendencies and forgot about it.

He was absent-minded and thus instinctually whipped his hand away from her grasp causing a powerful gust of wind that created holes in the surrounding houses. This was a result of his progenitor instincts that caused him to subconsciously look down on weaker beings than him. Especially vampires.

He returned to reality but was still somewhat absent-minded. He quickly entered his room after grabbing her. "It seems that we have much to talk about Kai…" Annabelle wasn't happy about the fact that Kai rejected her hand, or that he had destroyed the surroundings.

But she let it go under the assumption that he was unhappy about the murder of the many vampires. They were sitting on his large king-sized bed. If there were cameras filming this moment then this could have been a great scene for a romance movie. An extremely beautiful woman and an otherworldly handsome man sitting together on a large bed facing each other.

Kai himself should have normally felt the strange atmosphere between them, but since he was still hung up on his own issues he ignored the tension and just sat on the bed absorbed in his own thoughts.

'This was not what I was expecting' Annabelle thought. 'I expected him to have some sort of interest in the conversation but it seems that he is still thinking about it. It seems that I have to explain the entire situation.'

"Listen to me, Kai. You have been through a very traumatic event. I understand that you have killed some students when you have lost control of yourself. I am sure you are feeling shocked and distraught.

But this is why I am here to comfort you, I must admit that this is partially my fault. I forgot that this occurrence can happen no matter how rare it is and didn't keep a close enough eye on you."

He narrowed his eyes and looked at her "what do you mean?" "I'm sorry Kai. Because of the superior power that you have been granted, there seems to have been an imbalance between your normal still-human conscious to your superior physical body and vampire instincts causing your loss of control."

'Pugh! That's b**lsh*t, none of that is true. It's just because of the [Berserk] ability.' He thought to himself while looking at her with disdain hidden in his eyes.

"Anyway, we will have to keep an eye on you and perhaps even restrict you until you can control yourself without your loss of control. In the beginning, when such an occurrence happened we called it [Berserk.]"

When Annabelle said the last word Kai's full attention was on her, his piercing intent was simply overwhelming. Some of his true aura was starting to leak out and caused Annabelle to subconsciously fear him.

She subconsciously took out the mysterious book and was prepared to activate it, when Kai sealed his aura once again. The reason was that he had felt a mysterious energy fluctuation appear on the academy grounds, specifically inside the Administrative building.

This fluctuation disappeared almost as quickly as it had appeared. Causing Kai to doubt what he had just felt. This caused him to have another reason to stay in the academy for a short amount of time when he had thought of leaving to look for a solution to the [Berserk] ability.

He glanced back at Annabelle and agreed to follow her.

Afterwards, Annabelle took him down to the underground "lair" and gave him a dumb excuse that wouldn't even fool a 3-year-old, before she locked him inside one of the rooms and left. He obviously left it as soon as she left the nearby surroundings and followed her.

She had gone to speak with the Director and Kai had discovered something that was truly worth staying at the academy for.

Kai hadn't discovered much about the [Berserk] ability until that moment. He had discovered from eavesdropping on them that the original vampire progenitor had suffered from the same occurrence. This was a closely guarded secret which only a select few knew and was never recorded.

The only reason that he had discovered this was because of the enormous gap in strength between Kai, Annabelle and Malcolm. This allowed him to sneak through the academy without being found out. They were discussing how similar the signs he was showing were to the First vampire's.

He was shocked and jubilant at the fact that he could find out new information from the originally-thought dead end.

The next week was spent looking for clues and trying to discover many new things in the underground "cottage" (The two rooms hidden under the labyrinth.) He had assumed that this was the cottage spoken off in the first legend and decided to search it.

Unfortunately, there was a unique type of energy that managed to block off all magic inside and thus Kai had to search every single nook and cranny.

*End of flashback

Today he was once again looking through the "cottage" even though he had combed through everything countless times. He was in the middle of searching for clues at the dining table when he felt some especially mild magical energy fluctuations coming from the bedroom.

He instantly appeared inside the room and silently felt the energy fluctuations gradually getting stronger. After a few seconds, there was a large flash of white light and when it passed there was a humanoid figure lying on the bed…
